Crytek Say The PC Is A Generation Ahead

Of course, Crytek are just as much a part of the cross-platform bonanza. While they’ve been exclusively PC in the past, Crysis 2 is being developed across all three platforms. But Yerli says to EDGE that the creative expression of the developer is “limited” by Sony and Microsoft. He said,

“PC is easily a generation ahead right now. With 360 and PS3, we believe the quality of the games beyond Crysis 2 and other CryEngine developments will be pretty much limited to what their creative expressions is, what the content is. You won’t be able to squeeze more juice from these rocks.”

This is the unseen side of the coin. nVidia has a large investment in Crysis 2. That made a lot of people shake their heads, me included. But in this context, that investment may be a boon to the PC as a platform. Make games that lure people away from their ****ty consoles; move from VHS to DVD metaphorically. Now if only ATi would pick up the gauntlet and find something to support...
